Ti-tech vs. Ceramic
Ti-tech vs. Ceramic Ok I am going to pick up a set of Edelbrock LTs and am wondering if the ceramic is worth the few extra bucks. I know the SS is better but I want something left in the 401k, so its Edelbrock with HP tuners for less than most SS header set ups. The ti-tech look fine to me so the ceramic upgrade would be more about durability and heat reduction than looks. My car is not a DD and rarely sees rain, so if the ceramic has a better chance of holding up let me know.
Thanks in advance.

SS + Ceramic for longevity and looks, SS for simple longevity.
If you don't care about discoloration and plan to keep the headers on there for a long time, there's no doubt that stainless is the way to go.
Aren't XS headers relatively cheap now for stainless? QTP or Kooks may fair better in some little details, but headers are headers and will net you good gains over stock.

For the most part it's all over. Since i have to pull my motor out i'm debating on keeping them, and sanding the rust off, or getting a set of XS(?) headers. Can't beat Stainless, esp since i'm in the north east.
Don't get me wrong, they are GREAT headers for the money, just avoid the Ti-Tech.

I have Ti-Tech Edelbrock LT's, and they are great headers BUT the Ti-tech coating is not as good as the ceramic coating. For being a paint it holds up pretty well though. Most of the surface rust i have is down on the collectors, but i still have small dots of rust coming up the primaries as well. I would spend the extra on ceramic coating.

Thanks for the info.
